The man led Gu Yuan around and around in the green mountains. Gu Yuan even suspected that this guy was taking him around on purpose, but it turned out that this man was really leading Gu Yuan.
Because a cave appeared in front of the two of them, and a noisy sound came from the cave.
The two hid in a secluded place. The man lowered his head and said to Gu Yuan, "Sir, our main force is in front of us. If you want to go to where our leader is, you have to go around this place, because our leader is probably afraid of death. The only cave they let us know is right there. If you want to go to that place behind our base camp, you have to go around here, and there are guards all around. If you go around, it will take a lot of time, so what are you going to do now? It's not that I don't want to take you directly to that place, but now it depends on what you do."
Gu Yuan frowned and said, "Why didn't you tell me clearly just now?"
Gu Yuan looked at the man's face, and murderous intent emerged in his body.
The man trembled slightly and said with a wry smile, "Sir, I'm just afraid you'll leave. I want to get rid of these bandits even more than you do. I've already said that I've suffered greatly from them, and I want you to help us get rid of them so we can live a stable life. As long as they're there, we won't have any good life, and we'll be victimized by them for generations to come."
That's why I didn't tell you just now that you have to pass through this place if you want to go to the leader's place. I was afraid that you would find it troublesome and give up my plan, so I didn't tell you.
Instead, I brought my parents here and only now am I telling you about this matter."
Gu Yuan smiled and thought to himself that this guy was really smart. However, judging from his expression, it seemed that this guy was not lying, but really wanted him to help him get rid of these horse thieves. If so, it would be helpful for Gu Yuan to complete his plan.
He looked at the man and asked, "If I go directly to the base camp now and wipe out all the bandits, won't that alert the leaders?"
The man replied to Gu Yuan, "If you intend to rush over and kill the bandits in the large army, it will definitely alert our leader. However, from my understanding of our leader, he is very arrogant. If someone comes to cause trouble, then they will come out to fight. I am afraid that by then, you will be exhausted from dealing with these bandits and will not be able to deal with the leader.
If you are confident, you can give it a try. I don't think they will run away. After all, most of our troops are his subordinates and follow him. They are the backbone of his forces. If he runs away, he will undoubtedly become the sole commander. He obviously won't do that."
Gu Yuan thought about it and felt that what the man said made sense.
However, Gu Yuan wanted to come up with a more stable plan to ensure that no horse thieves could escape. Otherwise, if any horse thieves escaped, it would bring more risks to the villages below.
Gu Yuan doesn't want this to happen.
He looked at the man and said, "Is there any way to gather them all together? I want to catch them all in one fell swoop and prevent any of them from escaping. Otherwise, if anyone escapes, what if they retaliate against the nearby villages?"
The man's expression changed slightly. He tapped his head and said, "Your Excellency is very thoughtful. I hadn't even thought of this before. Your Excellency was right. If some of these bandits escaped, they could take over the mountain and rule the land. Of course, they can't stay here forever. I don't see your face. You shouldn't be from this area that day. You must have just passed by."
Gu Yuan smiled. "You are quite clever. You are right. I was just passing by and heard that there were horse thieves here, committing many evil deeds. So I came here to help the nearby villages get rid of them. It is also a promise I made to others. Since it is a promise, it must be fulfilled."
The man quickly looked at Gu Yuan and said, "Bold, in that case, good people will be rewarded. If you want, I can tell you an idea. Didn't I tell you before that the people in our large army gathered together and did not go out to perform tasks just for the leader's birthday in a few days? At that time, everyone will definitely gather together, and the leader and deputy leader will definitely show up. That's when everyone will gather together. If you are strong enough, you can consider catching those people in one fell swoop at that time, but I am worried about your strength.
The man looked at Gu Yuan and asked slowly, "He is also a little worried about the orchard's lack of strength. Otherwise, by that time, going up there would be in vain."
Gu Yuan thought for a moment and said, "To be honest, my current strength is probably not enough to wipe them out in one fell swoop, but I can still assassinate them one by one. So I plan to kill the leader first, so that the pressure on me will be less. Otherwise, it will be a bit troublesome to deal with them all at once."
The man frowned. "If that's the case, then it seems you need to come up with a thorough plan. I just don't know if you can trust me."
Gu Yuan raised his eyebrows, "Do you have a plan?"
The man nodded and said, "That's right, sir. I have an idea in my mind that I want to tell you. But I'm afraid you won't believe me. If you don't believe me, then there's no point in me saying it. After all, you definitely don't want to take risks. And there are so many of us. If anything unexpected happens, you might be in danger. I believe you definitely don't want to take risks. If you don't trust me, then there's no need for me to tell you what I'm thinking."
Gu Yuan shook his head and said, "Then tell me what you think. I'll see if it's feasible."
The man said, "Sir, I have an idea. I want you to transform into my appearance. I just arrived here not long ago, so I am not familiar with those people yet. I don't have much contact with them, and they don't know much about my habits. It shouldn't be a problem for you to transform into my appearance and sneak into the main force. I can tell you the cave where the only leader I know is. Of course, you can go there to look for him. If you can't find him, there should be two more.
The leader must be there, but I don't know where the other two are, but they must be not too far from the cave."
